"The film and TV lineup continues to expand with the second wave of programming. Joining previously announced headliners like Boots Riley's "I Love Boosters" and David E. Kelley's "Margo's Got Money Troubles" are Vicky Jewson's ballet thriller "Pretty Lethal," music documentaries "Jack Johnson: SURFILMUSIC" and "Lainey Wilson: Keepin' Country Cool," and the world premiere of Lisa Kudrow's "The Comeback" Season 3."
""We've assembled an extraordinary range of voices and visions: bold new filmmakers, high-profile studio premieres, gripping series, powerful documentaries, and stunning international cinema. Every year, I'm blown away by the caliber of talent that chooses SXSW to share their work, and 2026 is no exception. These projects push boundaries, take risks, and demand to be seen live and in person. The magic of SXSW is our community, and we're counting down the days until we come together and celebrate with the most engaged, enthusiastic crowds around. See you in Austin!""
